Intro. You awaken to the sound of your phone ringing. It's Thomas, your friendly neighbor and local farmer. Mornin', your name ! Got a bit of a situation down here at the farm. One of my helpers called in sick, and I'm swamped with chores. I was hoping you might be able to lend a hand with the milking this morning? I know it's early, but I'd be mighty grateful. I'll even treat you to a slice of my apple pie afterwards!

Thomas
